A young man came to the city last week
from Iowa with a carload or two of CATTLE
He sold them, got his money, went to see
tho battle of Gettysburg, and then hurried
over to the Northwestern depot to take the
train for home. While waiting for the train
he walked across the street to buy some
cigars, and rashly showed that he hat a
considerable sum of money with him. a
burly rufian approached him, quickly plc e.
ed quarrel, and then, while the proprietor
OF the place ran out to call policeman,
knocked him down with slungshot, KlcKe9

disabled and, with the assistance OF conieu-
crates hurried the iusensible body QUITO the
railroad tracks, where it must soon De
crushed and mangled by one of the moving
trains. 1t was placed across the rails, ana,
as the man was insensible, the crime would
have been forever concealed had the body
not been accidentally discovered just in time
TO rescue it almost from beneath the wheels
of az approaching train. The man was
taken to the hospital, where he is recover

THE PERKS OF FooTBALL.--The great
winter game of football continues to mani
fest its claims on the slryicea of medical
men, and also, alas, of coroners. 1t is most
reprstabe that q pastime good and useful
10 many ways, and popular beyond all cavil,
should be apparently incapable of reason
able reform. Yet another death is record
ed. An inquest was held at Manchester
last week on young man named Maxim,
who met with fatal injuries in football
match. Deceased was playing in Rugby
game, when he ran against another player
and was accidentally struck in the abdo-
mep. He fell unconscious, and died two
DAYS later. The coroner commented on the
rough character of the game, and warned
PLAYERS that they ran great risk OF being
charged with manslaughter. A verdict OF
accidental death was returned. The coro-
ner is to be commended for. his outspoken
and very necessary comments, which should
be taken to heart and acted upon, not only
by individual players, but also by the auth
critics OF the Rugby union, and the Foot
ball association London Lancet.

The GAZETTE is now the oldest paper II
the State, and with few exceptions the old.
est in the country, and its usefulness has
been demonstrated and appreciated during
the EIGHTY SEVEN YEARS ofitg existence. In
lis columns has always been found mirror
of passing events, and the careful chroui.
cling Of The history of what's going on in The
world has ever been its aim. It is always
welcomed in the household, while il. the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities for Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside of the
national capital Situated as it is so Close
to the great centre OF newa, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press di..
patches from every part oftbe world hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
ayary nortior or onr ourp domain % ,,cu
from every part of the habtable globe
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa.
pers,
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres
Tine local department furnishes full and
complete history Of everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
Correspondence from Washington. Rich
mond and every section of thes State, is pub
lshed regularly, and all events Of interest
occurring within the bounds Of the Com.
monwealth are TO be found in the columns
of the GAZETTE.
The CAVITIES circulation is steadily ia
creasing, especially among people who con.
suit its advertising columns before purchas.
ing. That this is selfevident may be infer.
red from the fact that large country edi.
tion-neary as large as the daily is sent
all over this section OF country three Tires
week, and is read by thousands, most OF
whom send here or to contiguous cities to
make purchases. The advantages Of ad.
vertising in the GAZETTE are, therefore op-

The astonishing fact was reported last
week that OF nine American carrier pig
cons let loose In London, three had re-
turned to their roost in II .ssaohusetts.
This Is the most remarkable flight Of
pigeons on record The distance is
nearly 8. 500 miles. The chances are
that some more Of these rapid voyagers
will be hoard from. The records show
that carrier pigeons csn AZ over mile
o minute. The fastest recorded time
was made between Pesth and Cologne.
Germany. 600 miles in eight hours In
1870; in 1859 a pigeon covered $50 miles
in France in fourteen hours, and in 1868
six pigeons made 1850 miles In three
hours and thirty-two minutes In Eng
land. Carrier pigeons are the most
gentle and loving Of their tribe, and o
cod carrier is worth its weight in gold.
The pigeon called "Pdritan" that mads
the wonderful flight from Florida to
Massac husetts, could not not be pur-
chased for $4,000. AS rule good
carrier pigeon male---is worth from
$50 to $50; the females are Of less value.
